Answers:

Angle A = 62.1 degrees

Angle X corresponds to angle A

The triangles are not similar

=========================================

Explanation:

To find angle A, subtract the given angles B and C from 180 to get 180 - B - C = 180 - 60.8 - 57.1 = 62.1 degrees

Notice how none of the angles of triangle ABC have a measure of 59.1, so this means that angle Y cannot be congruent to any of A, B or C. This is why the triangles are not similar. We would need 2 pairs of congruent angles to use the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem.

If the triangles were similar, then we can say triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. The letters A and X are the first letters mentioned of the trio of letters, which means that they correspond to one another.
